The Premier League is back after a brief break for the FA Cup third round.

The top-flight sides who rested players for last weekend will be back to full strength as the league season resumes in earnest.

Liverpool and Manchester United take centre stage on Sunday, but there is plenty to get excited about before then.

Here is all the team news ahead of the top-flight fixtures...

January 14

Tottenham v West Brom, 12.30pm

Jonny Evans remains out for West Brom 's trip to Tottenham as he continues to battle a calf problem.

The defender missed Albion's 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Derby after coming off in their 3-1 Premier League win over Hull earlier this month.

The Baggies are also still waiting on confirmation from Cameroon over whether Allan Nyom can play after he was left out of their African Nations Cup squad while Chris Brunt and Jonathan Leko will be assessed. Stoke target Saido Berahino will not be included as he is not yet fit.

Tottenham have no fresh injury concerns.

Erik Lamela (hip) is still missing and is continuing his rehabilitation abroad and remains absent for the foreseeable future.

Head coach Mauricio Pochettino is expected to welcome back a number of first-team regulars who sat out the FA Cup third-round victory over Aston Villa.

Burnley v Southampton, 3pm

Scott Arfield and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are unlikely to feature for Burnley against Southampton .

The wide men suffered hamstring injuries in the FA Cup draw with Sunderland last weekend so George Boyd is set to be recalled and boss Sean Dyche could consider utilising Jeff Hendrick or Michael Kightly on the other flank.

Goalkeeper Tom Heaton and defender Ben Mee are likely to return but Joey Barton, who played 90 minutes in his second debut last weekend, may have to revert to the bench.

Southampton will check on the fitness of midfielder Steven Davis.

Davis went off during the closing stages of the midweek EFL Cup victory over Liverpool at St Mary's, so will be assessed, but captain Jose Fonte will continue to be left out of the squad after handing in a transfer request, while midfielder Sofiane Boufal has returned from African Nations Cup duty because of a knee injury.

Hull v Bournemouth, 3pm

Hull are hoping new signings Oumar Niasse and Evandro will be available for Saturday's home match against Bournemouth , head coach Marco Silva's first league game in charge.

Striker Niasse has joined on loan from Everton until the end of the season, while Brazilian midfielder Evandro has completed a permanent deal from Porto. The Tigers hope to receive clearance in time for them to be included.

Midfielder Markus Henriksen has been ruled out for up to three months with a shoulder injury sustained in the midweek EFL Cup defeat at Manchester United, but Curtis Davies (hamstring) and Michael Dawson (shoulder), plus Jake Livermore (illness) could all return.

Middlesbrough defender Daniel Ayala will miss the trip after losing his appeal against the red card he received last weekend.

The Spaniard will sit out the next three games following his dismissal during Sunday's 3-0 FA Cup third round victory over Sheffield Wednesday.

He will be joined on the sidelines by defender Antonio Barragan (hamstring) and midfielder Gaston Ramirez (knee), although keeper Victor Valdes (knee) is available once again while winger Viktor Fischer is back in training after his own knee problem.

West Ham v Crystal Palace , 3pm

West Ham will be without Dimitri Payet for the visit of Crystal Palace after the France star refused to play as he wants to leave the club.
